Security Architect, AI Infrastructure
San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Austin, TX, U.S. Remote, Seattle, WA$275k - $344k + equityFull-timePosted today
About the role
Role focused on designing and securing frontier AI compute infrastructure, including model weights custody, training environments, accelerators, and multi-tenant boundaries. Own security program end-to-end from bare metal to boardroom, with emphasis on architecture, threat modeling, and scaling security as AI infrastructure expands.
Responsibilities
- Own the attack surface unique to frontier compute: model weights custody, training environment isolation, accelerator and interconnect security, and multi-tenant boundaries under real adversarial pressure.
- Design the reference architectures and standards that security engineering builds to, keeping the seam between design and build clean enough that both sides move fast.
- Treat the workload as part of the threat model, and architect environments that stay defensible even when the thing running inside them is the adversary.
- Run security design review for the systems that touch training and inference environments, from bare metal and fabric to scheduler and storage.
- Track where frontier compute is going (new accelerators, interconnect generations, confidential computing, agentic workloads) and have the architecture ready before it lands.
Qualifications
- You've secured AI, ML, or HPC infrastructure where the assets were genuinely worth stealing: lab infrastructure security, supercomputing centers, or research environments that drew nation-state attention.
- You can architect isolation at every layer it exists: hardware, firmware, hypervisor, kernel, container, network fabric, and physical.
- You understand AI compute infrastructure as a system (accelerators, high-speed interconnects, parallel storage, schedulers) and know where each component breaks a classical security assumption.
- You've done original work in systems or ML security, published or shipped, and can turn research into architecture that engineers actually build.
- You defend design decisions in review on their merits, and change them when someone closer to the metal proves you wrong.
- Bonus: Confidential computing and attestation depth. Weights custody or cryptographic key custody at scale. A publication record in systems or ML security.
